Poetry? Are You Kidding?

Just in case you were thinking to yourself or even saying outlout, "Will boys give a hoot about poetry?" (because I sure was!!) I'll set your mind at ease.

Yes. They enjoy it. We have a snack about 3 o'clock most days. (See my other blog called Tea at Three) and yes, we call it "tea." No snickering! We have a snack: sometimes it's storebought donuts and milk, sometimes it's homemade cookies, sometimes it's quick bread and hot tea. (Friday it was a softshell taco from Taco John's!!) Anyway, we have 'tea' and we listen to poetry on a tape or cd, or I'll read to them poems from some of our collections.

When I read about Christopher Robin going to Buckingham Palace with someone named Alice, Eli said, "So just how's this guy related to Winnie the Pooh?"
